Cello Fest

Immerse yourself in Cello Fest, an evening of classical music, local art & an open bar.

Experience a one-of-a-kind show that redefines what the cello can do in one of Austin’s premier galleries celebrating local women and nonbinary artists. Eight powerhouse cellists from Austin Camerata take the stage for an electrifying program that spans centuries and genres—from the sweeping romance of Mahler’s Adagietto to the iconic rock of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the synth-pop brilliance of A-ha’s “Take On Me.

For this special 5th annual event, legendary cellist Bion Tsang and drummer Sam Wheeler join forces for a rarely heard bluesy-jazzy-rock concerto that will blow your mind.

Part symphony, part rock concert, this year’s Cello Fest is a vibrant celebration of sound—where eight cellos bring the music you love to life in ways you’ve never heard before.

Tickets Include:

• Cocktail hour prior to show to view The Cathedral's current collection of art featuring works from 30 local women + nonbinary artists

• A 1-hour program featuring 8 cellists

• An open bar with complimentary craft cocktails and sips from local partners

Please note, there is an age restriction of 10 years old or older for this event. Thank you for understanding.
